I've made choices that my parents weren't exactly thrilled with, and yes it hurts when they are upset with me, but you know what, I had to do what was right for me. If I was trying to please my parents all the time I would go nuts.
No wonder these kids have problems.

Lady Pi Phi,
These people aren't messed up. They just grew up in a different culture. Some immigrant parents are really "old country" and raise their kids that way. Others are more like my parents, people who are a little more liberal. These kids, unlike us, accept what their parents say. Only a few (like the cop mentioned in my previous post) dare to rebel. It's just the way it is. They're probably not going to raise their kids the same way though.
